Chapter 2

Mia's POV

We arrived at the lake house and the view was spectacular! A cool breeze wrapped around us making the trees flutter in background. The lake was calm and clear. Good thing I brought my bathing suits along with me. I can't wait to feel the cool water against my skin!

We all got out of the car and Mrs. Lamon- I mean, Sally, gushed at how pretty everything was. All of them got tired when I say 'Mrs.' or 'Mr.' so they just told me to call them by their first names.

"Hey, Rob's car is an oompa loompa too!" My uncle joked.

"Daddy, what's that machine doing?" Becky asked in her cute small voice as we approached the house.

"It's getting rid of the moths, honey." Lenny answered.

"Where are they taking them?" She asked again.

"Hell." My uncle answered. I pinched his sides and he gave me a 'what' look.

"Don't say that, Higgins." Lenny chastised.

"Oh, I'm sorry, not hell, Mexico." I rolled my eyes at his cluelessness.

"It's giving them electricity so the moths fall asleep.. Uh, electrically." Lenny tried to explain.

"It's electrocuting them?! But, daddy, they're dying!" Becky wailed.

"Is it killing them?!" Donna and Charlotte screamed at the same time.

"No!" Lenny said as the machine zapped once more.

"Daddy, NO!" Becky screamed.

"No, no! It's not, okay?" He said as he walked up to the bug zapper and unplugged it. "They're all alright. I promise you. See, look at this guy," As he took one moth from the machine and threw it in the air and it fell to the floor. "He's still sleeping."

"It's dead, dad." Greg said and his mom pinched him making him cry out in pain. I stifled my laugh by hiding my face behind my purse.

"Oooh, a porch swing!" Mama Ronzoni exclaimed in delight as she trudged up the steps and pushing Keithie to the ground. As she walked towards the porch swing, she stepped on the moth that was laying on the floor. "I know what I'm doing this weekend."

"Now, it's dead." Lenny referred to the squished moth.

"Welcome back to 1978, everybody! The Lake House!" Rob said as he welcomed us in. The room was homey and warm. Everybody got in fairly excited except for the Feder brothers. Everybody 'oohed' and 'aahed' at everything.

"This. This is my kitchen right here." Kurt said dreamily.

"Oh, please enough with the kitchen." Deanne exclaimed.

"Thank you so much, Lenny!" Sally gushed.

"Ooh, an organ!" Donna yelled as she ran towards it.

I stayed behind all of them to take in everything. I have never been in this kind of noise before asides from school. It was overwhelming to have so many people here. My parents were always out of town for business and I didn't have any siblings around anymore. I get the reason of why they work a lot, so it doesn't really bother me that much.

"Is this like an outward bound thing, dad?" Greg questioned.

"Yeah, it's like an episode of 'Lost'" Keithie continued, looking everywhere with disgust.
